The Derbyshire brewery is working alongside its Finnish importer Brew Seeker Oy, as well its parent company Captol Invest Oy, to locate a site ahead of a proposed opening later this year.

Thornbridge managing director Jim Harrison, said the brewery has been “delighted at the great reception our beers have had in Finland”.

He added: “We have really enjoyed working alongside our partners there to provide a wide range of our beers in top quality condition.

“The prospect of a bar in Helsinki and working with Mikki and the team to make this a great Thornbridge experience is something that we are really looking forward to.”

Entrepreneur Mikki Nyman has been appointed as the project’s operational restaurateur and run the bar with Captol Invest’s support in line with their new MYBAR concept.

Nyman explained: “The new pub will have a great selection of beers, including special brews from Thornbridge on a regular basis.

“Our intention is to have a modern approach to the classical British pub in our interior design and offering. Thornbridge’s well known slogan; “Innovation, passion, knowledge” will describe perfectly our aim with the pub.”
